The Lakers' Five in the second quarter: Guo Xu, Kobe, Ledel, Horry, Foster.

Jackson's deployment of troops has made new tricks. O'Neal, who was in poor form, was replaced and rested. He was worried that the substitutes could not stand it, so he asked Kobe to continue playing. This way, the ball would be a little difficult to divide. Guo Xu and Kobe were both unhappy and could not let go and take action.

Five of 76ers: Iverson, Snow, McGee, Kukoc, Teelon Hill.

Larry Brown is an extremely conservative old-school coach and never arranges "five ups and five downs" in the second quarter. At least two starters can bring substitutes to make him feel at ease.

As for Iverson, he usually doesn't have a rest when he is not garbage. It is common for him to play more than 40 minutes per game. If the coach turns him out, he will be angry.

The 76ers' style of playing will lead to the concentration of the ball on one, two people, and others' data will be poor.

Kukochi's average data this season has dropped to only 8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2 assists. A good forward in the organization is almost used as a blue-collar worker by Brown; what's worse is the rookie. No matter what the pick is, as long as he is young, Brown will definitely not reuse it. Wait for death.

The 76ers attacked first, Iverson dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Guo Xu was the main defense.

Finally he faced the target person. Guo Xu was very excited, but he didn't say hello to Iverson and had nothing to say.

He stared at the opponent with all his attention, for fear of ignoring every move. The defender with fast defense must focus, and his unstable breath may be passed.

Iverson dribbled the ball in the middle and gave it to his left hand, shook his left shoulder slightly, and then changed direction to the right. His movements were not fast and very gentle, but the change direction suddenly accelerated and passed Guo Xu in one step.

Guo Xu quickly turned around to chase the defense. Iverson was blocked by Horry. He passed the ball to Kukochi, and Kobe made up for defense. Kukochi passed it to McGee again.

The 76ers players kept sharing the ball and played very selflessly. McGee broke through and attracted Foster to make up for defense at the basket, and passed the ball to Snow, who was cut at the empty cut, scored a layup. 17 to 20.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe asked for the ball on the right, and his single-handed fight against Snow seemed to be a good choice. Guo Xu glanced at Kobe in the middle and threw it away from the three-point line.

Iverson's center of gravity dropped very low, and his speed was amazing. As soon as Guo Xu jumped up, he jumped up, seriously interfering with the shooting.

The ball bounced far away, and Foster accidentally picked up a frontcourt rebound and turned from the left to the middle to hook the ball. 19 to 20.

The 76ers attacked, Snow dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Iverson. Guo Xu wanted to defend closely, but Iverson pulled the distance with speed and turned around to face the frame.

Guo Xu had a little insight. Whether it was broken double-teaming or tight-fitting, speeding up and dribbling was a good way to speed up and dribble the ball. It was really a step back and the sky was wide open. Although it was far from the basket, it could not take action immediately, but it could reduce the chance of being stolen.

Iverson dribbled the ball under his right hand and gave it to his left hand. He shook his left shoulder slightly and quickly changed direction to the right, which was another step ahead.

Guo Xu wanted to follow him horizontally, but found that he was very awkward when he stepped on his feet, and the center of gravity had shifted unconsciously. If he hadn't practiced dancing, he might have sat on the ground.

In the first quarter, he watched Kobe by Iverson several times on the sidelines, and thought he could do better. Now he understood that Iverson's change of direction is worthy of a skill, and it is difficult to defend against the tricks that can be used all over the world.

Iverson has a very solid technical foundation. In his arsenal, the most powerful thing is dribbling under his crotch and changing direction. Because when he dribbles, the arc brought by the basketball is as beautiful as a butterfly through flowers, so his signature move is named "Butterfly through flowers".

However, Iverson could not get an open position immediately even if he passed Guo Xu. He was retreated and attacked by Kobe and Horry near the free throw line. In addition, Guo Xu was surrounded by three people.

Iverson chose to pass the ball to Snow, who missed the basket with a simple open mid-range shot and grabbed the rebound by Kobe.

Snow is famous for his defense and always performs his duties well on the defensive end. He has a good position in the lower set and is trained by Payton at the supersonics. Although he has a good defensive organization, his shortcomings are obvious. He has poor shooting skills and no three-pointers, and his scoring is basically based on layups. He is not sure about shooting at an open position.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, called Foster's secret code to find cover, and prepared to break through and one more time.

The 76ers power forward Kukochi was not very defending after the pick-and-roll. He was two steps away from Guo Xu to wait for him to break out, and could also go forward at any time to interfere with the shooting. Kukochi is a 211cm tall forward, and can play a certain interference role by just standing in front of the defender.

Guo Xu was preparing to move sideways and take a three-pointer to retreat. As a result, before he retreated, Iverson bypassed the cover and chased after him, reaching out to poke the basketball off his back. Kukochi quickly rushed to the ground and rescued the ball with one hand. The defense was enough. Iverson picked up the basketball and Guo Xu made a mistake.

When he returned to defense, Guo Xu felt that he had been deceived by the posts on the NBA forum in his previous life. Damn, what about the black hole that he had agreed to defend? Shouldn't I be able to fight at will?

Iverson's comprehensive defensive ability is indeed average, because his height and weight are there, so it is impossible to switch to big men when encountering pick-and-rolls, and he can only chase the defender. This is a common problem for point guards, unless it is Peyton and Kidd who are over 1.9 meters tall, are not afraid of misplacement.

Thanks to his arm length and speed, Iverson's defensive effect against the small point guard was good. He was said to be a defensive black hole after joining the Nuggets. At that time, Snow was no longer around him, and he started with Anthony Carter, who was 185cm tall. Who could such a combination defend?

Many people like to count Iverson as a point guard. He must be a black hole in the No. 2 position, although no coach will arrange for him to defend the shooting guard at the main defender.

In short, no one said that Iverson has poor defense, but there are many people who are praised, because after entering the league, he averaged more than two steals per game for five consecutive seasons, and he has the chance to win the steal king this season.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Iverson, the best defensive player voted in the 2000-01 season, and Iverson, Kobe and Kidd won the same votes, ranking 12th. In the 2002-03 season, Iverson ranked sixth, higher than Bowen and Kobe. At his peak, Iverson entered the forefront of the best defensive player votes many times. The votes were voted by reporters, and the reporters could not help him steal the game.

The 76ers attacked, Guo Xu faced Iverson for the third time, maintaining one and a half distance to the main defense breakthrough. This defense method is effective against Iverson, and he rarely uses step-back jump shots and three-pointers.

Sure enough, Iverson chose to force a breakthrough, and dribbled under his crotch changed direction. Guo Xu judged the right direction and stuck the breakthrough route. However, Horry was not very relieved, so he let go of Kukochi and formed a double-team, which was a wrong decision.

Iverson immediately passed the ball, and Kukochi broke into the basket with the ball to attract Foster to defend, and passed it to Teeron on the left at close range. The latter received the ball in an open position, jumped up in one step, and easily dunked with both hands to score. 19 to 22.

In the Lakers positional battle, Kobe's eyes were already starting to get angry, so Guo Xu dribbled the ball and passed it out through half the game.

Kobe received the ball and beat Snow alone, but failed to make a breakthrough in a change of direction. He took it to the low post and leaned on the ball with his back. He used his height advantage to turn and jump shot back to make a jump shot. Foster grabbed the frontcourt rebound and touched the ball out of the baseline.
